Pros
* However this project and business turn out I'm happy I got to work on this once in a lifetime project that has really pushed boundaries in many areas of software development, games development, networking, and computer science.
* Despite a lot of my ex-colleagues being younger, newer in the industry and sometimes inexperienced / naïve, they really worked incredibly hard and with huge amounts of enthusiasm, sometimes to the detriment of their own wellbeing and personal lives.
* The offices and infrastructure are great with absolutely no expense spared in allowing us to get our jobs done.
* Despite some of my criticisms below I would definitely do it all over again but I would also get out earlier.

Cons
* A lot of the management have little to no idea what they are doing, use software development methodologies from the last century and are frankly out of their depth. This causes an exponentially increasing spiral of delays that a modern experienced project manager would see coming from a mile away and know how to deal with. The project is getting ever further away from completion despite what public statements to the contrary say. These managers may have been the best of the best back in their day, but it is no longer that day and people rarely have consistent hits their entire career.
* This issue is compounded by the fact that CIG pays below industry average salaries, because they correctly think many people will want the prestige of having worked on such an exciting project to be on their CV, however you also don't get the best talent this way.
* Both the salary and management issues have caused a lot of more experienced staff who were really making the most progress to leave. A lot of the people left are fairly wet behind the ears and need a lot more mentoring before stepping up to the plate. I spent over half my time mentoring other members of staff even in areas I only have a vague passing knowledge of.
* Collectively we ended up grinding harder and harder, losing increasingly more of our lives, over smaller and smaller irrelevant things that the CEO dreamed up. This has been getting worse recently not better, especially with recent technologies added to the game that should have been implemented at the end, not now.

Advice to Management
Hire experienced executives and professional project managers with current decade skills and qualifications - Not family members, friends or old contacts.

Keep on doing what you're doing.

Thats the opposite of how it works. We want to give every patient literally any kind of treatment or care they need at our for profit hospital. Because we get paid for it.

Get your leftist retard poo poo out of this thread you sound like a twat who read a blog post once.

We'll suck your dick if you choose our hospital for your heart surgery or pregnancy or whatever. Every hospital is like this. Because businesses like being busy. It means they get paid for the goods and services they provide. Virtually all businesses operate in this manner.

Just trying to educate you a bit about the real world for next time you decide to put politics in the thread so you look slightly less stupid.

Banning would increase our vulnerability to another surprise testicle picture. It's a weird dynamic, I know.

Same. Started a new job with a 2-hour daily commute a couple months ago (it was supposed to be one, but... roadwork) and I'm just too wiped out to even touch games anymore.
